Yes. Start qmon, go to host configuration, go to execution
host. Put a value in the "Consumables/fixed hosts" field.
For instance "BIT64 TRUE". Then you put a condition
on the qsub command (using the -l option) so that
64 bit jobs only go those nodes where BIT64 is true.
For more info one of the SGE lists would probably be a better
place to ask.
